==Pulsing icon delayed by 5 seconds==

===Description===

===Description===

Whenever an activity is started in sugar OS , we get to see a few seconds delay after clicking on the activity icon on the home screen and before the appearance of the pulsing icon animation. The delay also seems to be directly proportional to the complexity of the icon of the activity.

SugarLabs bug [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2080 #2080] was raised because whenever an activity is started in sugar OS , we get to see a few seconds delay after clicking on the activity icon on the home screen and before the appearance of the pulsing icon animation. The delay also seems to be directly proportional to the complexity of the icon of the activity.

'''Result :''' The applied patch reduces the delay by more then 60%, as confirmed by the community, but it's worth a note that the zoom in effect is still lost for most svg icons, only for the very simple icons effect is visible (Log icon is simple enough to show it, Distance icon is not quick enough).We can see the below attached screenshots showing the visual effects,  after the application of the patch on an XO-1.5
